Barcelona believe that some unknown individual or individuals reported the club regardingthe case of the underage football players. They are convinced that FIFA don't look into this type of matters as a norm and that what started the ball rolling was a phone call or letter to the authority. The interest that other clubs had to sign Lee Seung Woo may have been the reason why some other club complained to FIFA.
This is not the first time that the Catalan club has seen evil goings on in the wings. With the 'Neymargate' scandal, the club always thought that there existed some kind of conspiracy out to do them harm, although they have never been specific in their allegations. However, it was obvious to many that the Barça directors believed Real Madrid to be the guilty party - in particular, Florentino Pérez.
Moreover, the actions of the judge and the Tax Authorities have raised suspicions at the Camp Nou. They are alarmed by how fast things have developed. Bartomeu himself commented that he was surprised how swiftly everything had been processed when normally such judicial processes take so long.
This perceived conspiracy to take Barça down also includes the media in Madrid. Laporta used this tactic when he was up to his eyeballs in the Uzbekistán case. Later he was to admit that he got paid €10 million.
